ELEMENTS OF CRIME

Law 12 students took learning to a whole new level with their latest assignment. Selecting eight Law terms from their coursework after learning about Elements of Crime, they presented their findings through various creative avenues. Students created short films and visually appealing websites and showcased their unique talents and teamwork. Each project reflected creativity and enthusiasm.

This video is an example and was created by Talia Charach, Luca Jeffrey, Abby Kalmek, Carsyn Leipsic, and Henry Simkin-Watt.
